If You Fail to Provide Personal Data

In this case, we may have to cancel a product or service you have with us but we will notify you if this is the case at the time.

We will only use your personal data when we have a lawful basis for doing so. We have explained below each lawful basis for using your personal data, and the purposes for which we use your personal data.

  • Performance of a contract: We need to use your personal information, such as Identity Data, Contact Data and Financial Data for the purposes of performing a contract you have entered into with us.

We aim to provide you with choices regarding certain personal data uses, particularly around marketing and advertising. As part of our ongoing marketing activity, we may use your personal data in the following ways:

  • Promotions: We may use your Identity, Contact, Usage and Profile Data to form a view on what we think you may want, need or may be of interest to you. We do this in order to provide you with the most relevant products and services.

Disclosure of Data

As part of fulfilling our contractual obligations we may have to share your personal data with the following parties:

Internal Third Parties: Other companies in the ExaGrid Group who are based in the US, EU and Singapore acting as joint controllers for the purposes of carrying out the Group services, administrative purposes and for leadership reporting.

External Third Parties: This includes service providers acting as processers; professional advisers acting as processors or joint controllers such as lawyers, auditors and insurers.

In addition, we may share your personal data with third parties to whom we may choose to sell or transfer, or with whom we may choose to merge. If a change happens to our business, then the new owners may use your personal data in the same way as set out in this privacy policy.

We require all third parties to respect the security of your personal data and to treat it in accordance with the law. We do not allow our third-party service providers to use your personal data for their own purposes and only permit them to process your personal data for specified purposes and in accordance with our instructions.

International Data Transfers

We share your personal data within the ExaGrid Group which involves transferring your data outside the European Economic Area (EEA).

Whenever we transfer your personal data outside the EEA, we ensure a similar degree of protection is afforded to it by ensuring at least one of the following safeguards is implemented:

  • We will only transfer your personal data to countries that have been deemed to provide an adequate level of protection for personal data by the European Commission.
  • We may use specific contracts approved by the European Commission which give personal data the same protection it has in Europe.

If you require any further information on the specific mechanism used by us when transferring your personal data out of the EEA, please contact us using the details provided in the Contact Us section above.

Data Security

We have put in place appropriate security measures to prevent your personal data from being accidentally lost, used or accessed in an unauthorised way, altered or disclosed. In addition, we limit access to your personal data to those employees, agents, contractors and other third parties who have a business need to know. They will only have access to your personal data on our instructions and they are subject to a duty of confidentiality.

We have put in place procedures to deal with any suspected personal data breach and will notify you and any applicable regulator of a breach where we are legally required to do so.

Data Retention

We will only retain your personal data for as long as is necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting or reporting requirements.

To determine the appropriate retention period for personal data, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure of your personal data, the purposes for which we process your personal data and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal requirements.

We have to keep basic information about our customers (including Contact, Identity, Financial and Transaction Data) for ten years after they cease being customers for legal and regulatory purposes.

In some circumstances you can ask us to delete your personal data. Please see further information within Your Legal Rights section below.

In some circumstances we may anonymise your personal data (so that it can no longer be associated with you) for research or statistical purposes in which case we may use this information indefinitely without further notice to you.

EU Data Protection Legislation: Your Legal Rights

Under EU data protection laws, you have the following rights in relation to your personal data:

  • Right to request access to your personal data
    This enables you to receive a copy of the personal data we hold about you and to check that we are lawfully processing it.
  • Right to request correction or personal data that we hold about you
    This enables you to have corrected the personal data we hold if it is incorrect. Please note, we may need to verify the accuracy of the new details you provide to us.
  • Right to request erasure of your personal data
    This enables you to ask us to delete personal data where there is no good reason for us continuing to process it. This may also apply where you have successfully exercised your right to object to processing (see below), where we may have processed your data unlawfully or where we are required to delete your personal data to comply with local law. Please note, however, that we may not always be able to comply with your request for erasure for specific legal reasons which will be notified to you, if applicable, at the time of your request.
  • Right to object to processing based on certain grounds
    This enables you to object to processing of your personal data where we are relying on a legitimate interest (or those of a third party) and there is something about your personal situation which makes you want to object to processing on this ground as you feel it impacts on your fundamental rights and freedoms. You also have the right to object where we are processing your personal data for direct marketing purposes. In some cases, we may demonstrate that we have compelling legitimate grounds to process our information which override your rights and freedoms.
  • Right to withdraw consent
    This enables you to withdraw consent at any time where we are relying on consent to process your personal data. However, this will not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before you withdraw your consent. If you withdraw your consent, we may not be able to provide certain products or services to you. We will advise you if this is the case at the time you withdraw your consent.
  • Right to transfer data
    This enables you to request the transfer of your personal data to you or a third party. We will transfer the data in a structured, commonly used, machine readable format. This right applies only in respect to automated information which you initially provided consent for us to use or where we used the information to perform a contract with you.

 

Where you are exercising any of the above rights please note the following:

Fee: You will not have to pay a fee to access your personal data (or to exercise any of the other rights). However, we may charge a reasonable fee if your request is clearly unfounded, repetitive or excessive. Alternatively, we may refuse to comply with your request in these circumstances.

Further Information: We may need to request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and ensure your right to access your personal data (or to exercise any of the other rights). This is a security measure to ensure that personal data is not disclosed to any person who has no right to receive it. We may also contact you to ask you for further information in relation to your request to speed up our response.

Response Time: We try to respond to all legitimate requests within one month but it may take longer if your request is particularly complex or you have made a number of requests. In this case we will notify you and keep you updated.

If you wish to exercise any of the above rights, please contact us using the details provided in the Contact Us section above.
